Eric Tinkler warns Asante Kotoko against complacency ahead of Debibi United tie

Asante Kotoko's head coach, Eric Tinkler, has cautioned his team against becoming complacent as they gear up to kick off the 2026-27 Ghana Premier League season against Debibi United. The match is scheduled for Sunday, 6 September, at Berekum Golden City Park. Debibi United is a new entrant into the Ghanaian top flight.

Speaking to the club's media, Tinkler emphasized the importance of matching Debibi United's work rate while ensuring his team's quality shines through. He expressed hope that Asante Kotoko can secure a positive result in the encounter. Tinkler, a former Orlando Pirates boss, also highlighted the significance of earning points from lower-ranked teams to bolster Kotoko's chances of challenging for the title. He stressed that winning matches, whether at home or away, is crucial for the club's success.

The club finished eighth in the previous season and is hoping for a stronger performance under Tinkler's leadership as they aim to secure a major title.
